A delicate, if at times cold, character-driven tale of hardship and acceptance.

A fun, if imperfect, mishmash of comedy subgenres driven by a charismatic duo of rebellious teenage girls.

The Boys in the Band (2020) – Movie Review
There’s something here for you if you love dialogue-heavy dramas, but this play doesn’t quite click.
Enola Holmes (2020) – Movie Review
